RE: Segfault with Embperl, Apache::Session

[Doug MacEachern]

this copy-n-paste from ~/Mail/.sent-mail-dec-1999 might help:
---
a few things could shed some more light:
build a libperld.a and compile with PERL_DEBUG=1 (see SUPPORT doc)

and/or, in gdb:

(gdb) source mod_perl-1.21/.gdbinit
(gdb) curinfo

should tell you the line/filename of the offending Perl code

add this to the .gdbinit (which is in the modperl cvs tree):

define longmess
   set $sv = perl_eval_pv("Carp::longmess()", 1)
   printf "%s\n", ((XPV*) ($sv)->sv_any )->xpv_pv
end

(gdb) longmess

should produce a Perl stacktrace
